Not for advanced users! - 2006-03-08
Reviewer Rating:
Pretty good book in general. I'm an intermediate computer user and I have to say I didn't learn to terribly much from this very large extensive product. For advanced users I wouldn't recommend it, for beginners looking for info on basic troubleshooting and building of pc's I would recommend it. A large wealth of the history of computers, and other now obsolete information that I'd rather not waste my time or brain capacity with. Also EXTREMELY BIAST on Intel products, basically giving less info on AMD chipsets mobo's and processors, and treating AMD like it's not worth the space in this 1500 page book. Let's face it, if your building your own PC, your probably gonna shoot for an AMD processor, for it's specs and it's value of the buck.

This book has everything you can imagine, and then everything you can't. It's got what you need and what you don't. The more information the better! Superb reference book and great to learn the details you always heard about but never really understood from either the concept, technical, or logical side. A must have for computer gurus!

Excellent Reference - 2006-05-25

This is a great book if you are like me and want to know where to find out all that esoteric information about computer junk. What do all those acronyms mean? I was able to go from being scared to open a computer case to building now three different computers. I love that it has all the old information in there. It is sort of a history of computers from the early PCs to today. This book is just now starting to be obsolete. Some of the newer chipsets are not listed, but it is still a great resource.
